We've changed things up a bit this year! We're having an Instagram contest!

NOTICE: If your Instagram account is private— we won’t be able to see you post unless you follow us and we follow you back! So if we haven’t liked your image, that means we haven’t seen it.

1. The subject matter must have an element of the man-made environment and be located within the state of Oklahoma. Let us know where it's located in your post!

2. Entries must be submitted via Instagram using the hashtag #OKLAHOMANMADE and tagging @okcarchitecture. Please feel free to include other fun tags like #architecture #design to help us spread the word!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share my photo on another social media platform?

Not for contest purposes, in order for your entry to be considered in the contest, you must share it on Instagram.

Can I submit something other than Architecture?

The rules state that it must be something man-made so anything man-made is acceptable but the goal of the competition is to highlight Oklahoma Architecture, so we encourage architecture to be part of the photo.

While we always encourage you to share great architecture photos with us, in order for it to be part of the competition, images must be submitted with the appropriate tag and hashtags April 1 -14.
